Just a few pictures of what daddy and BK have been up to while mommy grows a baby...

But here's a little update on how Colton is doing!

Gestational Age: 32 weeks and 3 days (yay!!!!)

Estimated Weight: 4 lbs and 11 oz

Number of weeks on bed rest : 10 weeks (yikes!)

- Only had to go into the hospital once so far (this is compared to 6 times during the last pregnancy)

- we've made it 5 weeks further than when BK was born

Cravings: Icees (poor Brian has to drive a good distance away just to find one...my husband loves me :)

BK's thoughts on the matter this week: I refuse to sleep...I am only doing this to prepare you for the new baby. Please do not be angry.

Game Day

It's no secret around my house that i'm not really an avid football fan. But I do try to get in the spirit. While I don't really understand the game, and I rarely care who wins or loses (I feel like its a sin to say that and be from the south!) I really do love this time of year. Brian's heart belongs to Ole Miss so we cheer for them (although BK does have a cow bell she likes to ring thanks to Aunt Linny). So get your cheer on!

And He Shall Be Called...

COLTON JOSEPH PETTWAY!

Yes we asked ourselves, why are we keeping the name a secret? We've loved so many names that its been hard to pick but this one feels right...it's hard to explain. I just love finally being able to say his name out loud. My sons name. Not just baby boy or "beebo" but the name my son will have throughout his entire life.

Pregnancy Post

Gestational Age: 30 weeks

Baby's Estimated Weight: 3 lbs 12 ounces

Cravings: Macaroni and Cheese...terrible for me, I know

Belly size: LARGE

Baby's Name: We have FINALLY agreed on a name but aren't ready to share it just yet!

Sleeping: not really well, bigger = more uncomfortable = pillow nest just to get to sleep

Best part: besides the fact that we've made it this far...feeling this little guy move!! Knowing that the miracle of life is growing inside of me! Truly an indescribable feeling.

BK's thoughts on the matter: "bubee" what's a baby besides a really large stomach that grows on a mommy? Do I have to share my toys? Do I need to learn to potty train by 2 years old? Must I really hold my own bottle? YES!!

Stock the Bar Party!

So my dearest and youngest cousin, Lauren, is getting married Nov. 6 to a sweet guy that we all love! We had planned on having some sort of shower/party for her and Paul but bed rest had me spinning. So it finally happened and it was so much fun! Luckily I have a super creative sister who worked her little booty off getting everything ready...I helped direct from the couch but mainly felt super bossy because I couldn't really help. So thank you Katie and Lindsey for putting together a wonderful party!!! And congrats to Lauren and Paul....we can't wait to celebrate with yall in a few short months (baby...you better stay in till then!)

The Bride and Groom

The four of us...just another memorable photo to add to the collection of the "four"


Fun mixed drinks...love potion no. 9, the blushing bride, and the mother-in-law
The beautiful bride and the party crasher (ahem BK)

Well Hello Third Trimester!

BK giving her "bubee" a kiss...

Well we made it to our first goal...28 weeks!!!! We never made it this far with BK so this is a welcomed milestone!

Big Red Ball

So I took a break from my bedroom lair to spend a little time sitting outside when the "cold front" came through this week. Yes...a cold front!! Instead of 103, the temp was 93! With a nice breeze in the evening it was quite lovely. Briley LOVES being outside...I have raised a child who is not interested at all in the television (which I don't know how since Brian and I watch way too much) but loves to explore the yard. We even got the pool out which she refused to play in and went straight to the dog bowl. I think Dakota had more fun with the ball than BK. Hope yall enjoyed the cooler weather as much as we did!
